Why should I care about the randoms who just happened to be in the same lobby? I know that they're not going to care about me either and I would never expect that.
I started the strike because I needed to do something in them; completions, champion kills etc. I'll always prioritize my objectives and I want to complete them as fast as possible. After all, why would I spend my time guessing what objectives the randoms have. Maybe they just want the completion or they're trying to complete bounties, who knows? That's why I think speedrunning is the best choice for everyone's sake. At least they get extra rewards at the end and can continue their objectives in the next one🤷♀️
Before someone comments about Nightfall weapon farming in matchmade difficulties… No. You shouldn't be farming then in the lower difficulties.
There's a really easy solution for this and it's called *optional matchmaking*. I remember back in Festival of the Lost We used to have a gamemode called the Haunted forest. It gave you an option to choose between normal or *Firewalled* Haunted Forest. Firewalled version allowed you to block matchmaking and load in as a solo, duo or trio fireteam without anyone else joining to fill the missing spots.
We need optional matchmaking for strikes/nightfalls.
